New Delhi, June 17: Love can move heaven and earth, as the saying goes; but two teenagers have proved that it can also make you rob your own family. On May 19, two teenagers, along with their accomplices, planned and robbed their grandmother after they came to know about a Rs 30 lakh payment she had received in a property deal.

The juveniles, whose parents work as traders, took the step as they wanted to splurge the money on their girlfriends. With the apprehension of two juveniles and the arrest of an accomplice, the crime branch claims to have solved the case. Two of the accused, including one of the grandsons, are still absconding, police said.

"The grandsons of complainant Malkiyat Kaur had come to know about a Rs 30 lakh payment that their grandmother had received from a local property deal. The juveniles disclosed this information to their friends - Gurpreet Singh, Saurabh Nagia and a third associate -living in their locality. Malkiyat's grandsons (her daughter's son and her son's kin) then hatched a conspiracy to loot the amount as they wanted to splurge on their girlfriends and live a lavish lifestyle,'' said Bhism Singh, additional DCP (crime).

The incident took place at Rani Bagh area of northwest Delhi. According to sources, the juvenile grandsons opened the lock of the door on May 19 and gave a free passage to their associates. Besides Malkiyat, her daughter Jasbir too was present in the house on that day. While the juveniles left home after that, their accomplices threatened and tied up the two women with a piece of cloth and looted around Rs 9 lakh from them at gunpoint.

Later, the accomplices distributed the booty among themselves and did not give a penny to the juveniles. "The accused bought four gold rings from the looted money and Rs. 62,000 cash has been recovered from them. Efforts are on to apprehend the absconding associates and recover the remaining money,'' said Sanjay Jain, DCP (crime).

The incident took place in Rani Bagh. The boys opened the lock and gave a free passage to their associates.

The West Bengal government has suspended two women teachers in East Burdwan district on the charge of teaching pre-primary students from an English alphabet book consisting of a portion derogatory to the people with a dark complexion.

While presenting the alphabets with corresponding words and images, the book says U is for "Ugly". The illustration printed beside the letter is that of a boy with a dark complexion.

"The book is not part of the textbooks referred by the education department. It was introduced by the school itself. We have zero-tolerance for acts which instil prejudices into the minds of students," Education Minister Partha Chatterjee told reporters here on Thursday.

He said the two teachers of a local municipality-run school have been placed under suspension with immediate effect based on a preliminary investigation and stricter action would be taken against them later.

Though the school is now closed because of the lockdown, the matter came to light when the father of a student of the school was teaching him with the help of that book. He informed other parents and the education department was apprised of the issue, sources said.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
